Summer lovin' - that pretty much sums up July for us. Soakin' in all the good stuff.
 |
| 7.1.16 (Cal's big pool was up, too, but she opted to join Sam in the tiny pool. Better together, I guess.) |
 |
| 7.1.16 (Sam certainly thought so.) |
 |
| 7.1.16 (my favorite smile!) |
 |
| 7.1.16 |
 |
| 7.2.16 (I made this because I'm patriotic like that.) |
 |
| 7.2.16 (pretty skies from the hammock) |
 |
| 7.3.16 (a beautiful day to dirt road drive to Logan - this time we took the highway till we got halfway through Sardine and then turned off on a dirt road that popped us out in Paradise) |
 |
| 7.3.16 |
 |
| 7.3.16 (and then the sunset on the drive home was glorious) |
 |
| 7.3.16 (not the best photo documentation of it since we were driving and my window was pretty dirty, but wowza! Cache Valley evenings are delightful) |
 |
| 7.4.16 (she's getting better at the bike!) |
 |
| 7.4.16 (tie dye for the fourth of july) |

| 7.4.16 (sunset goodness while we wait for the fireworks on the front porch) |
 |
| 7.4.16 (we woke Cal up to come out and watch with us - she was totally out of it and wanted to go back to bed so she didn't really see any of the show after all) |
 |

 |
| 7.6.16 (story of my life trying to get a picture of this guy) |

 |

 |
| 7.8.16 (we've been reading this book, Cal and I. I remember loving it as a kid but reading it as a mom sure brings a new perspective. That Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has some interesting/brilliant parenting advice!) |
 |
| 7.8.16 (I haven't snapped one of her sleeping for a while) |
 |
| 7.8.16 (cookie cutters are great baby distraction while I'm working in the kitchen) |

 |
| 7.11.16 (always standing up these days - and he loves looking outside so much) |
 |
| 7.12.16 (I didn't take a pic of the park bowery at the 4th of July breakfast but the flag decorations were still up all month long, so I snapped this at one of our park mornings) |

 |
| 7.14.16 (instagrammed: we be (apricot) jammin') |

 |
| 7.15.16 (I love the texture design of these ones. And the color, too!) |
 |
| 7.15.16 (love this view from the hammock, could ya tell?) |
 |
| 7.16.16 (H&T gave us a date complete with babysitting as a Christmas gift last year and we finally cashed in. Cal and Sam got to play at the park near their house that was pretty cool.) |

| 7.16.16 |
 |
| 7.16.16 |
 |

 |
| 7.16.16 (hiking the Crimson Trail in Logan Canyon - one of my faves from my college hiking days) |
 |

 |
| 7.16.16 (I love Logan Canyon) |
 |
| 7.16.16 |
 |
| 7.16.16 (the descent was a lot more brutal than I remembered. that or I'm a lot older and heavier than I used to be (which is probably more accurate)) |
 |

 |
| 7.28.16 (baby's first corn in his teeth) |
 |
| 7.28.16 (we took a walk over to the Ogden Valley Open Market on a hot Thursday for the sole purpose of getting a shaved ice. Cal chose blue and it matched the chair she sat in while we listened to some local musicians perfectly) |
 |
